"Undertank heaters will not change the basking spot temps. only higher wattage bulbs will."
Disagree on the latter BDlvr - lower wattage bulbs can produce the same basking hotspot by raising the site to the bulb. It's a simple concept. Why use 100 watts when you can achieve the same amount of heat with 50?
I notice you mention the hot road on a 90 degree day example again, I temp gunned all sorts of surfaces during the summer on the hot days this year(90plus). Blacktop concrete(160plus) grass(sub100's) mulch(130plus) tree bark/branches varied with height off the ground(100-140). There is just all sorts of surface temps out there. Temp guns are just fun, man. A fantastic learning tool as well.
